Ugali, a stiff porridge made of maize meal. [Photo/Pinterest].Reports that the government has imported bags of maize into the country in 3 days in the wake of lamentations from Kenyans that the commodity was being sold at a very high price have been termed as propaganda.
Kenyans took to twitter and even came up with a hashtag #JubileeMaizeScandal to discuss the news.
Here are some of the tweets.
